While your advisor may be better than most, keep your grain of salt handy. He/she might still be hamstrung by the institution-- I know from talking to prelaw advisors at my UG that they were not allowed to try to dissuade students from or influence them about TTTTs. So when a kid came in chatting about Florida Coastal, all they could say was "okay, let's work out how to get there..."

Prohibited from giving unbiased advice? That makes for a pretty useless position.

I know it probably won't be a Manhattan-tier prep class, but it's free and would count towards my degree. Should I take the class in the spring or will his potentially bad teaching mess up my LSAT mojo? I'd sit in on a class to see but he doesn't teach it in the fall. Started self-studying for the June 2014 test a few weeks ago, aiming for mid/high 170s.

Your school offers a for-credit LSAT prep course? WTF?

Redacted for fear of being outed
